The first thing the camera catches is the sound of a muffled chainsaw. This goes on for a few seconds before there's sounds of some shuffling and shifting which jars the camera again. Oh yes that would be Sam squished into a chair sitting up asleep with his head back and some god awful snores coming from him.

Snores so loud he wakes himself up with a start. This jars the camera some more and Tara can be seen sound asleep on the bed. At least for the moment.

"Shit," he mutters and scrubs his hands over his face then leans up to check on Tara before sitting back in the chair. This is when he notices the camera is on.

"Uhm...sorry. I-Tara is fine for anyone that was wondering. Ethan, I meant to call you and tell you but..." He makes a gestures like...yeah I fell asleep.

He'd carried her home after the Doctor's injury and she'd been so exhausted from the spell she hadn't woken up. Worried, he'd just sat in her room to mother hen her.

She nods. "Any magic teacher who's legitimate will tell you that. Magic should never be used to just avoid doing things the hard way, or because it amuses you." She's gotten a little softer - the topic is still kind of sobering for her, because of Willow.

Tara's softer tone doesn't go unnoticed by Sam. He furrows his brow, stands up and...

Yes he starts to sing. There should be apologies to both Tara and Elvis Presley not to mention anyone who happens to overhear him.

♪"If you've got a problem, I don't care what it is
If you need a hand, I can assure you this
I can help, I've got two strong arms, and I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good,
Let me help♪

Now he looks acutely embarrassed. He's blushing even. Sam's well aware of his musical talents.

She reaches out to touch his arm, reassuringly, if he's close enough. "It's okay. Thank you." She opens her mouth again, but then a set of lyrics comes out in her sweet mezzo soprano.

♪I've got a friend
Like Carole King
Or was it Carly Simon
Used to sing?
I always get those two confused
But anyway -

I turned around
And suddenly
I'm not alone
It's not just me♪

She laughs, self-depricating, and says, "...right. So."

Sam chuckles. At least Taxon is equal opportunity. "Alright then. Just remember that because--"

And it's back to the singing

♪It's a fact that people get lonely, it ain't nothing new
But a woman like you baby, should never have the blues
Let me help, have a laugh on me, I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good
Let me helpIt's a fact that people get lonely, it ain't nothing new
But a woman like you baby, should never have the blues
Let me help, have a laugh on me, I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good
Let me help

Awesome.

She smiles. "We had this happen at home, you know. That time, it was a demon. But... ♪I got by with a little help from my friends.♪" She stops. "Well, that wasn't totally... anyway. Thank you, Sam."

Sam just grins at her. "You're welcome. And you ought to try singing sometime when you aren't being forced. You're good at it."

Now it's her turn to blush a little. "Oh, I c-couldn't. Not in front of people."

"You just did. Well at least in front of me," Sam tells her.

"Only because I couldn't help it. Last time, I did a whole song and dance in a public park."

This makes Sam face palm. "We're going to end up dancing too?"

"I can't promise. I don't know if it's the demon this time or not."

"I wouldn't mind you dancing but no one wants to see me dance. I'm only coordinated when I'm hunting."

"I'm sure I saw worse. The whole town was effected."

"That had to be a nightmare," Sam says. "I mean...unless everyone was also afflicted with a lot of talent."

"No, not quite. I mean... it wasn't exactly the first thing on your mind, at the time - whether people were good or not - but even so."

"It's a little...disconcerting thought. Like being a in a broadway play. Do you ever watch musicals and go why are they singing? It just doesn't make sense."

"Willow - um - a friend of mine. She thought, before we know it was a demon, that we were trapped inside some physic kid's Broadway dream."

She said Willow's name to someone not from Sunnydale. It's a miracle.

"I can see how she would think that. I wonder if our Hamsters like Broadway?"

Sam would be proud of her if he knew.

"I wouldn't be surprised, especially if this is a glitch."
